i sort of see a boehner in the role of a boss here. you know he has got, you know, he's got still a very hard core group of people on right who are not still -- still not terribly afraid and are not taking lessons out of election so he really does have a fundamental concern about how he's going to put together a coalition to do this. and i really do think, for all joking aside, this bit of theater, doesn't bother the white house and doesn't bother congressional democrats because they know he's tempting to see how far he can push these guys. >> boehner, they accept him and embrace as the negotiator from the right. talking about theater, we have to talk about the mitt romney meeting here, which is -- actually we know the president has been engaged in a certain amount of political theater, meeting small business owners, going out to country, selling this to the american people. i think it's interesting he's choosing this week to meet with mitt romney and yesterday meeting with the money bags that maxed out donations to the romney campaign

i think john boehner was very clear that everything is on the table with respect to revenue reductions -- revenue increases as well as spending reductions, but there are certain things that aren't. and i think what john boehner said is right, we should not be increasing tax rates on businesses in america. so i think you're going to look at it from the standpoint of can we tighten the tax code, limit deductions? there are things we can do to simplify the code that will result in more revenue because it will result in more growth. i think republicans absolutely should put those things on the table and revenue certainly should be part of the deal. >> some people are blaming you for mitt romney's failure, and i'll explain to you why. >> i wish i had such power here that i could be blamed for these things. >> allow me to elaborate. what they're saying is if he hadn't been pushed into fairly right wing quite extreme positions in his battle against the likes of you early this year for the public nominee race, then he wouldn't have gotten himself in this unholy mess of being branded against wo

speaker john boehner has to be re-elected. if he does sort of curve to the left and finds his way down the middle, he can almost guarantee he's re-elected; right? >> well, he has to earn the trust of republicans, particularly conservative republicans. if he brings it through and pushes it through, that ruins the republican brand forever. we barely convinced the american people we're against tax increases, but if they pass a tax increases, we're on the road to the minority. that worries members of the conference irrespective of the cliff created, again, by a bad deeing in august 20 # 11 that the american people said don't raise the ceiling, washington raised it, cut spending in the future. that sounds awfully familiar from the white house and out of the speaker and the majority leaders as well. tracy: do you have anied what's -- whatever boehner presented to the white house tonight, do you have any idea what's in the compromise? >> none whatsoever, no details gimp to us, again, undecled cuts, but what i can be certain about, an
